very dark colour some browning SMells very old - VA, old leather, mushrooms and balsamic notes. Even something a little rancid Still some freshness on palate though. Fruit fades very fast and drying out at end. Others were more sympathetic but I thought this had had it

2/2. Brought a bottle home. Everyone's favourite Red from the trip to the Lebanon. Big and Deep and Dark in the glass, looks like a pup and big and deep and dark on the palete with a smack of tanin. Like a pup. But good fruit and just a hint that it is starting to develop a little. Just a little. Needs a big hunk of red meat but all alone it may get the better of you.

14% A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah from vineyards situated at around 1000 metres above sea level, looking over the plain of Bekaa. There’s quite an international feel on the nose, which is just a hint Rhôney. There are forward black fruits on the palate, and it’s a bit chocolatey on the finish. Very good texture. Excellent length.

Cherry look, nose has vanilla hints, the texture is powerful but the tannins dominate the wine and the finish is unfortunetly very dry
